Moves Like Mafuyu
Minecraft movement can feel rigid after hours of mining and building. You sprint, you jump, you sneak—but what if you could slide under gaps, roll past enemies, or vault up walls with a single leap? That is exactly what Moves Like Mafuyu brings to the table. This lightweight movement mod is designed to improve exploration and building movement without adding a single extra keybind. If you have ever wished for a more fluid, acrobatic way to traverse your world, this add-on is a game-changer.
The mod is built around simple inputs: sneak, jump, and sprint. From these three actions, you unlock a suite of advanced techniques that feel natural and responsive. Whether you are navigating a dense forest, escaping a horde of zombies, or just trying to reach that awkward ledge, Moves Like Mafuyu makes every jump count. It is available for recent Minecraft versions and supports both Fabric and Forge loaders, making it easy to fit into your existing mod setup.
Sliding and Water Skipping
One of the first moves you will master is the slide. Press sneak while sprinting to start a slide. Your player gains a small boost and stays low enough to pass through one-block-high spaces. This is perfect for crawling through tight tunnels or dodging under low-hanging branches. After the slide duration ends, you resume sprinting automatically, keeping your momentum flowing. You can cancel the slide by jumping or moving backward, though canceling with backward movement will not restore sprinting.
Sliding gets even more interesting on slopes. When a slide leaves the ground, its duration is refreshed, allowing sustained sliding over sloped terrain. You can chain slides down hills without ever losing speed. And if you slide onto water, your player bounces upward slightly and keeps sliding forward. This action is called "water skipping" and has a default limit of two skips. It is a fantastic way to cross rivers or lakes without swimming.
There is an extra trick while sliding: colliding with an entity directly in front of your view will knock that entity away, but you will lose momentum. This can be a handy defensive move, shoving a zombie off a cliff or pushing a pig out of your way.
Climbing and Vertical Movement
Vertical obstacles are no longer a problem. When facing a two-block-high obstacle, jumping allows you to climb it in the same style as vanilla climbing. Mechanically, it behaves as if invisible ladders were placed around the upper block. This means you can scale walls and ledges without needing actual ladders or scaffolding. Climbing will not work if the block above the obstacle is not a solid-render block, such as slabs, leaves, or ice; if you are not facing the obstacle; or if the obstacle is only one block high.
For trickier situations, you can stop on a climbable surface by holding sneak, and pressing jump performs a normal jump. This is useful for three-block-high obstacles whose top block is not solid-rendered. If you slip off a block edge, facing the original block and holding sneak can stop the fall. This works because the climb check is more forgiving while falling. It is a lifesaver when you misjudge a jump.
Swimming and Water Glide
Water movement gets a major upgrade too. Press sprint while touching water to enter swimming, even when just entering water or standing in one-block-deep water. Swimming straight upward to the surface lets you breathe and keep swimming at the same time. This is called "freestyle swimming." It already exists in vanilla, but this mod makes it much easier to trigger.
While swimming, pressing sprint gives you a short forward boost and consumes some air. This is called "swimming boost." And here is the showstopper: while freestyle swimming, pressing jump launches you out of the water in the view direction and starts a slide followed by water skipping. This is called "water glide." You can leap out of a lake, slide across the surface, and skip twice before diving back in. It is both practical and spectacular.
Crawling and Rolling
Double tap sneak to enter crawling. This is equivalent to vanilla movement in a one-block-high space. Press sneak once to cancel it. By default, you can still jump while crawling, though a config option can make the jump key cancel crawling instead. Shortly after a sprint jump, pressing sneak enters crawling and grants a small boost. This is called "leap." Landing does not automatically cancel crawling, and leap can clear 1.5-block-high obstacles. While crawling, pressing sneak starts a slide, and the slide ending does not automatically cancel crawling.
Rolling is another core move. Hold a movement key and double tap sprint to roll. If already sprinting, pressing sprint once triggers it by default, though a config option can require a double tap. Rolling can also be triggered in the air. Rolling on the ground grants continuous directional speed and can pass through 1.5-block-high spaces. Rolling in the air normally grants no immediate boost, but it will gain speed after landing. Shortly after a sprint jump, pressing sprint can trigger an aerial boosted roll. This is called "air flip" and can clear 1.5-block-high obstacles. Rolling grants invulnerability frames by default, which you can use to dodge attacks or cushion fall landings.
Commands and Configuration
For server admins and advanced players, Moves Like Mafuyu offers deep customization. Use /moveslikecommand attribute to set movement attribute overrides for one or more players. Overrides take priority over the config file, and clearing an override makes the player use the config value again. For example, /moveslikecommand attribute @p slideStartBoost set 1.2 increases one player's slide start speed, while /moveslikecommand attribute @p slideStartBoost clear clears that override. Overridable attributes include all numeric attribute config entries for sliding, climb jump, swimming boost, leap, crawling, rolling, air flip, and related actions. KubeJS can also modify the player's Capability directly. On 1.21 and above, this should be implemented through data attachments.
Most features can be adjusted in the config file, and server config takes priority. You can configure whether sprinting slide requires a double tap, whether sliding ignores sneak edge protection, which entities can be knocked away by sliding, whether rolling rotates the first-person view, whether aerial rolling is allowed, and whether rolling grants invulnerability frames. Numeric attributes can also be configured, such as slide acceleration, roll animation speed, leap window duration, water skipping limit, and slide cooldown.
When used together with TaCZ, crawling conflicts because both mods simulate vanilla crawling with different detection logic. The TaCZ addon handles compatibility by disabling TaCZ crawling and allowing players to shoot while sliding.
Mastering the Movement Tech
With more complex key sequences, these simple actions can produce harder movement tech. For example, sprint slide, instantly jump, chain into air flip, then cancel into leap and sprint until landing. This is estimated to cover eight blocks, and you can still climb a one-block-high obstacle afterward. The skill ceiling is high, but the learning curve is gentle. More features may be added later to raise the skill ceiling without affecting normal use.
For players looking to expand their mod collection, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Moves Like Mafuyu, letting you add this movement overhaul without manual file juggling. The launcher's add-on catalog also keeps track of version compatibility, so you can be sure the mod matches your Minecraft build before you even download it.
Sneak, jump, sprint. That is it, now you know how to use the mod. Although it has many features, none of them require extra key bindings. Recommended for use with Smart Key Prompts, which can intelligently show available actions. The Chinese name of this mod comes from a joke in the Bilibili comment section, adding a bit of community flavor to an already impressive package.
